I think stability of the DMD backend is a goal of much higher

going to match the code generation quality of LLVM and GCC,
which have had many, many man-years invested in them. Working
on DMD optimizations is essentially duplicating this work, and
IMHO I think it's not only a waste of time, but harmful to D
because of the risk of regressions.
